Schedule Change: Craftalong with Lesley April 2020

Following the announcement by the Prime Minister and the request to eliminate all but essential contact and travel, we are implementing further measures to protect the health and wellbeing of our staff and suppliers. It is for this reason that the April Craftalong with Chocolate Baroque will be deferred until such a time that the Government lifts travel restrictions and Hochanda feels it is safe to bring suppliers back into the studio to commence filming again. This is not a decision that has been made lightly and we can guarantee that the Craftalong will be rearranged for a later date. Those of you that have already purchased your kit, we thank you and implore you to continue to support us in this decision. Further details will be released as they become available. Please bear with us over the weeks to come and through the challenging times ahead. We are doing everything we can to continue our broadcast and to bring you lots of interesting shows to watch while staying at home. As you can imagine, this is not easy, but our hardworking staff are committed to keeping Hochanda a safe environment for all. Thank you for your ongoing support and well wishes, please stay safe at home and do share with us the crafty projects that are keeping you busy! Hochanda x

Hochanda Schedule Change Due to current events

We wanted to update you with the further precautionary measures we are taking to support the national effort to slow the spread of coronavirus (Covid-19). Following yesterday’s announcement by the Prime Minister and the request to eliminate all but essential contact and travel, we are implementing further measures to protect the health and wellbeing of our staff and suppliers. With immediate effect from today, our live broadcast hours will be reduced to 7am-7pm to ensure we have only the minimum production staff on-site and in the studios. From Thursday morning and until further notice, we will no longer have guests travelling to the studios to demonstrate their products. Instead, our presenters will be working completely alone in our studio’s and we will be bringing you demonstrations from our guests directly from their homes (removing the need for them to travel). Please bear with us over the weeks to come and through the challenging times ahead when our shows may not always run as smoothly as usual. We are doing everything we can to continue our broadcast and to bring you lots of interesting shows to watch while staying at home. As you can imagine, this is not easy, but our hardworking staff are committed to keeping Hochanda a safe environment for all. Thank you for your ongoing support and well wishes, please stay safe at home and do share with us the crafty projects that are keeping you busy! Best wishes Hochanda x

At Hochanda we have been closely monitoring the evolving Coronavirus (Covid-19) situation and we continue to follow the advice issued by HM Government and World Health Organisation. The health of our customers, staff, suppliers and families is of top priority to us and we are implementing a number of proactive measures as a result. We will soon have many of our operational staff homeworking and we will be reducing the number of staff at our offices and studios to minimise any risk of spread to both them and to our valued suppliers during their visits to our studios. At this stage our aim is to continue to bring you live shows throughout the day as scheduled over the coming weeks and months and we are working hard to ensure that our daily broadcast remains unaffected. With the situation evolving each day, we are not yet sure if any of our delivery services or suppliers will be affected but will of course endeavour to keep you updated. Please take care of yourselves and of each other through this tough time and we hope that you can continue to enjoy our shows in good health. Best wishes, The Hochanda Family

It’s been an exhilarating, liberating and very exciting year and I have loved every minute of it! Sentimentally Yours has grown so much in that time, from increasing the range of products we provide to welcoming new members to our team, namely my friend Julia Watts and my incredibly talented designer, Trudie Howard. As always, what keeps me smiling and driven is my quest for the absolute best in terms of quality and design. To be able to then showcase these products on HOCHANDA is just so energising because I love a good giggle and a bit of banter whilst demonstrating how to get the most from my products. This is why HOCHANDA is so special to me - they’re my extended family and are incredibly supportive. To celebrate, we have a very special anniversary weekend of shows planned with myself and Julia.

With 27 years’ experience in the world of television, she has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the industry. “I’ve been presenting on television for about 27 years, but two of my favourite years in front of the camera were working for another craft channel. I loved the sense of community, the fun, the creativity I witnessed daily and the amazingly talented guests. When that came to an end in the summer, I decided to start a company. It’s a place where people from that community could come and craft together in luxury environments. I’m loving seeing it thrive and grow and I have big plans for the future.. but lately I’ve missed being in front of a camera and working with lovely crafty people on a daily basis. Now I get the best of both worlds, working with this fabulous channel Hochanda and continuing to develop my new company! I’m so lucky! Can’t wait to see you all on air and hopefully meet you very soon!” - Rachel Pierman

Jenny Eclair reviews the Hochanda Watercolour Challenge

29th January 2019

Thanks then to the Marie Curie charity who offered myself and fellow arty-type, presenter Penny Smith, an opportunity to do a watercolour masterclass, filmed for a TV craft channel to raise funds for palliative care. For the first time in my 58 years, I decided to do what I was told, just to see if it made any difference – as if I actually listened to a teacher and slavishly followed their instructions. We were painting a lake with hills in the background and the Marie Curie daffodils in the foreground. Everything our tutor did I copied, every piece of advice he gave I listened to and put into practice. I became the ultimate class swot – and did it reap rewards? Yes, dammit, my little painted postcard sized lake view is almost worth framing. (Actually it is worth framing and my mum’s getting it whether she likes it or not...) Read the full article now!
